Clinical Trial Summary

This study compares insulin 287 (a possible new medicine) to insulin glargine (a medicine doctors can already prescribe) in people with type 2 diabetes. Different ways of changing the dose of insulin 287 are also compared. This is done to find the best way to change the dose of insulin 287. Participants will either get insulin 287 that they will have to inject once a week or insulin glargine that participants will have to inject once a day. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 5 months (23 weeks). Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 6 phone calls with the study doctor. At 3 of the clinic visits participants will be asked not to eat or drink anything (except for water) in the last 8 hours before the visit. During the study, the study doctor will ask participants to:

• measure blood sugar every day with a blood sugar meter using a finger prick.

• write down different information in a diary daily and return this to the study doctor.

• wear a medical device (sensor) that measure blood sugar all the time for 18 weeks (about 4 months) during the study.

Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Time in Target Range (TIR) 3.9-10.0 Millimoles Per Liter (mmol/L) (70-180 Milligrams Per Deciliter (mg/dL) Measured Using CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring)	The percentage of time spent in glycaemic target range was calculated as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in glycaemic target range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL), both inclusive divided by the total number of recorded measurements. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication). The endpoint is based on data recorded by CGM system. It was required that at least 70% of the planned CGM measurements during weeks 15-16 were available for endpoint data to be included in the analysis.	During the last 2 weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16)
Secondary	Change in HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin)	Estimated mean change in HbA1c from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
Secondary	Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)	Estimated mean change in FPG from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
Secondary	Change in Body Weight	Estimated mean change in body weight from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
Secondary	Weekly Insulin Dose	Estimated mean average weekly insulin dose during the last 2 weeks of treatment is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).	During the last 2 weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16)
Secondary	Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. The on-treatment observation period was the time period from first dose of trial product (week 0, visit 2) until the follow-up visit (week 21, visit 20) or the last date on trial product + 5 weeks for once daily insulin and +6 weeks for once weekly insulin.	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 21 (visit 20)
Secondary	Number of Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 3)	Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery. Number of severe hypoglycaemic episodes that occurred from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) are presented.	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
Secondary	Number of Clinically Significant Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 2) (Below 3.0 mmol/L (54 Milligrams Per Deciliter [mg/dL]), Confirmed by Blood Glucose (BG) Meter) or Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 3)	Clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2) were defined as episodes that were sufficiently low to indicate serious, clinically important hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose value of less than (<) 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL). Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery. Number of clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2), confirmed by blood glucose (BG) meter or severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) that occured from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) are presented.	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
Secondary	Number of Hypoglycaemic Alert Episodes (Level 1) (Greater Than or Equal to 3.0 and Below 3.9 mmol/L (Greater Than or Equal to 54 and Below 70 mg/dL), Confirmed by Blood Glucose (BG) Meter)	Hypoglycaemia alert value (level 1) was defined as episodes that were sufficiently low for treatment with fast-acting carbohydrate and dose adjustment of glucose-lowering therapy with plasma glucose value of equal to or above (>=) 3.0 and < 3.9 mmol/L (>= 54 and < 70 mg/dL) confirmed by BG meter. Number of hypoglycaemic alert episodes (level 1) that occured from baseline (week 0, visit 2) to end of treatment (week 16, visit 18) are presented.	From baseline week 0 (visit 2) to week 16 (visit 18)
